Energy is always "lost" in transition. Depending on the substances of the warm object and the cool object, the energy lost will vary, but the energy lost will not be noticeable in any way, unless one has a very accurate thermometer, at least to the thousandths place.

EDIT :: This is assuming a vacuum. In an atmosphere, depending on the temperature of the atmosphere, energy will escape. However, if one measured all of the energy in the entire universe before and after the temperature change, the total energy would be the same, but the energy in the two objects would be different. For instance, if one of the two objects was an ice cube, in the Arctic the results would be much different than what the results would be in Hawaii.

add. But of course the two objects should have the same thermal mass for the equality to prevail. Consider for example heat flowing from Copper into Glass.

Provided that the environment is insulated (made not to conduct heat) the heat lost from the hotter object equals Heat gain by the other as this is in accordance with the Law Of Conservation Of Energy

No. Whereas energy cannot be created or destroyed, heat and molecule vibration can be "created", and heat ultimately can be created without something else getting colder.

Energy is never created or destroyed. All of the energy that

flows out of any place or thing has to go somewhere.

The roughness of the two objects coming in contact determines the degree of friction.


Does heat is NOT related to temperature differences?

Heat is the amount of energy transferred between objects where a difference in temperature is present. So in that sense, heat is related to temperature differences, but is not the same. The temperature difference is caused by the difference in the avg. speed of particles between the two objects.

Conditions for no heat transfer between two objects?

Heater is energy. Energy transfers from the higher energy unit to the lower energy unit, until they reach equilibrium. Equilibrium is when both objects contain the same amount of energy, therefore it is impossible for any to transfer between each other. The basic conditions for no heat transfer between two objects is for them to be the same temperature. To keep them at that same temperature, they would have to be floating in a perfect vacuum chamber so they had no contact with matter whatsoever. They would have to be shielded from infrared heat energy as well.


Why does adding the same amount of heat to two different Objects does not necessarily produce the same increase in Temperature?

Difference in desity of the matrials the objects are made of.


What force between objects is affected by the amount of matter in the objects and the distance the objects?

The "amount of matter" is an informal description of the mass. The force in question is called gravity.


Do objects of the same volume displace the same amount of water?

Yes, if all of the objects have the same amount of volume they will displace the same amount of water!


What evidence supports avogadros hypothesis?

PV/NrT, pressure(volume)/amount(constant)(temperature). When your temperature, volume, and pressure are all the same, you get the same number of particles. This is avogadros hypothesis. Let's say that you have to balloons. They have the same temperature, volume, and pressure. If you weigh the gases in the balloon, you will find that there is the same amount of particles. In fact Dalton did this was able to find out the amount of particles (atoms) by the mass of objects.


The amount spent on heating depends on the temperature?

Can an object be hotter than another if they have same temperature?

because thermal energy doesn't depend only on the temperature of an object but also form its mass so the objects might have different amount of mass
